Razor-Textured Short Haircut

This type of texture is achieved with a very sharp blade. The base is an asymmetrical cut with a long fringe off to one side. Originally a masculine cut, it is transformed into a feminine style with elongated lines and playful texture, cut in with a razor once everything else is in its finely tuned balance and spunky shape.
 
The neck fits like a tailor-made glove, with interesting movement around the edges and a jagged yet silky line. Her dark brown hair color contrasts with the cool black leather she is wearing and is enhanced by intense copper-colored highlights.

The finest shine with its galactic sparkle is just one of the unforgettable elements. This very short blonde haircut enhances a beautiful face, bringing all focus to her features. With long lashes and smoky eye shadow, the platinum texture turns out to be one of the most intense looks of the season and beyond.
 
Woman power at its best with elegance and passion. Annie Lennox and Pink have popularized similar short hairstyles; now it’s your turn to become a fashion icon.
 

Copper Bob

The edges of this bob are sculpted with a razor, giving them a soft flow and semi-transparent quality, especially in the fringe. Round and soft in cut, the bob is designed to fit her head shape in harmony, evident in the frame around her face and the smooth connection of the bangs to the sides.
 
A rich copper blonde imparts a million-dollar look. If you prefer not to wear it sleek every day, a bit of product and some tousling will instantly change the character of the style, as shown in one of the images below.
 

Professional Short Hairstyle

Wear it sleek or lofty. Razor-textured layers are versatile and ready to be styled according to your creativity and mood. A hot iron adds lift at the roots, creating the chic volume seen in the first picture.
 
This is the new power look for women, ideal on a professional platform as well as in more casual settings. For a cool variation, the hair is styled sleek and close to the head's shape. The second image reveals more of the haircut's fine texture and a basic helmet shape softened at the edges.
 

Old-fashioned Waves

Water waves with their intriguing pattern inspired this long hairstyle. You may remember them from the shorter styles of the 1920s and 1930s. On long hair, their effect is breathtaking. One image shows a more casual way to wear them with some disheveling and deconstruction.
 
The edgy curves are loosened but still display their unique character. With a smoothing product worked into the long mane, the shape sharpens and turns every woman into an instant icon of high fashion. Dark blonde with golden highlights keeps the look earthy, natural, and grounded.
 

Twist and Style

This long blonde hairstyle not only looks amazing but is also relatively easy to create. You don’t need special tools for these bodacious curls. All it takes is a good cut, some time, and twisting many strands.
 
The strands are rolled into a rope shape and coiled around itself until the hair is dry. Once set, they are gently separated and arranged to achieve gorgeous volume. A side part adds elegance, and the blonde is extra dimensional with subtle shades of light beige and gold.
 

Short Hair with Finger Waves

Old meets new in this stunning hairstyle. The strong retro touch comes from the top section, styled with fine water waves, sometimes called finger waves. These were created with a comb and blow dryer by a talented stylist.
 
The lower section features rows of small curls, created without a hot iron, using just some pins and finesse. The platinum tone gives the short hairstyle an out-of-this-world quality that exudes class and luxury from every fiber.
